B
B
B
Great
thank
you.
Quorum
has
been
established.
Council
member
Torres
was
not
able
to
join
us
today.
I'm
moving
through
the
agenda.
We
need
to
review
the
work
plan.
There
are
two
items
that
are
being
dropped:
they're
just
being
dropped
on
this
particular
work
plan
and
added
to
the
next
work
plan
that
starts
in
July,
so
I
will
turn
to
Public
public
comment.
Please
keep
your
comments
specifically
to
the
two
items
that
we
are
dropping
or
to
the
work
plan.
D
Hi
Blair
Beekman.
Thank
you
so
much
for
offering
for
asking
for
public
comment
on
on
the
work
plan,
items
I,
guess
to
start
first
on
the
downtown
Regional
way:
wayfinding
status
report,
I
I've
kind
of
spoken
before
you
know,
I'm
worried
about
this
technology.
I'm
worried
about
the
concept
of
data
collection
as
as
advertising
and
dollar
bills.
D
I,
don't
think,
that's
very
Innovative
towards
our
technology
future
and
Community
future
I
think
this
sort
of
Technology
should
be
very,
very
limited
and
not
really
spoken
of
Highly
and
kind
of
placed
in
a
small
corner
back
room
not
to
be
ever
used
again.
Basically,
but
you
guys
want
to
do
it
and
I
just
think.
We
have
to
have
open
conversations
that
this
is
advertising.
Data
collection
meant
to
make
money
off
of
people
and
take
away
their
privacy.
I.
Don't
again
find
that
very
Innovative.
D
It's
bundled
with
law
enforcement
data.
We
learn.
We
have
to
learn
how
to
have
those
conversations
from
last
fall
that
you
know
whatever
company
was
involved
at
that
time.
Talking
about
alpr
use,
they
did
a
terrible
job
as
our
San
Jose
representatives
of
Civic
Innovation
we're
trying
their
hardest
to
make
that
conversation
more
open
and
clear.
So
good
luck
how
we
can
make
those
steps.
That
is
just
the
key.
How
can
we
be
open
and
clear
and
honest
with
ourselves
that
is
so
much
a
part
of
the
future
of
innovation?
D
E
Can
you
hear
me
thank
you,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
I'd
really
ask
that
you
first
of
all,
thank
you,
councilwoman
Foley,
for
allowing
the
public
comment
on
this,
because
I
was
very
concerned
if
it
was
going
to
be
dropped
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
mean
drop
from
a
discussion
from
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
advise
the
the
council
to
pay
very
close
attention
to
the
earthquake.
E
Retrofit
now
at
last
Housing
Commission
meeting
there
was
given
a
presentation
by
the
people
that
are
going
to
actually
do
the
work
and
here's
what
they
stated
is
they
stated
that,
and
this
is
going
to
affect
thousands
literally
thousands
of
apartment
complexes
here
in
our
city,
so
what
they
stated
was
there's
going
to
be
a
displacement
of
the
people
that
are
living
in
these
complexes.
Now
these
complexes,
not
all,
but
the
vast
majority
are
from
our
Gente,
the
people
that
are
living
in
the
Eli
vli
kind
of
spectrum.
E
What
so
number
one
they're
going
to
be
displaced
during
the
construction
period?
And,
there's
no
messaging
around
that
people
do
not
know
this.
How
what
this
is
going
to
do
to
our
city,
literally
thousands?
This
is
going
to
take
place
over
years,
so
that's
number
one.
The
second
piece
is
that
they
they're
also
going
to
charge
the
the
the
costs
are
going
to
be
passed
on
to
the
renters,
and
so
there's
it
there's
a
very
significant
Equity
issue
here.
That
needs
to
be
articulated
clearly
when
this
comes
up
in
July.
E
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
when
I'm
at
that
meeting
in
July
I'm
going
to
remind
you
about
this
conversation
because
you
were
put
on
notice.
So
what
I
would
ask
you
to
do,
though,
is
look
at
the
last
Housing
Commission
meeting,
because
that
is
where
they
gave
their
presentation
now,
they're
going
to
need
messaging.
What
they
were
asking
for
is
people
in
the
community
to
message,
because
it
literally
has
to
be
done
door
to
door
in
a
large
members
of
this
community
are
Spanish
speaking.
Thank
you
back.
B
F
G
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ortiz,
Rosalind,
Huey,
Deputy
city
manager,
so
we're
at
the
process.
Now
we've
done
some
an
initial
analysis.
We
have
a
consultant
on
board
who
is
actually
identifying
which
buildings
would
be
impacted,
a
couple
of
things
where
in
developing
this
program
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there
are
resources
available
to
building
owners
to
actually
do
the
retrofits,
so
that
costs
don't
get
passed
on
to
individual
tenants.
Obviously,
we
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
in
that
area.
G
We
have
a
grant
from
FEMA
and
some
of
that
money
will
be
going
toward
building
owners,
but
we
know
there's
a
big
app,
so
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
various
resources
that
we
can
find
to
assist
building
owners.
So
that
doesn't
happen
and
just
in
respect
to
why
we're
delaying
the
item
and
dropping
it
from
this
work
plan,
we
have
extensive
Outreach
to
do
to
both
building
owners.
So
they're
aware
they
can
ask
us
questions
as
well
as
to
tenants
in
these
buildings.
G

Good
afternoon,
chair
and
members
of
the
commission,
Nancy
Klein
director
of
office
of
Economic
Development
cultural
Affairs
right
before
Carlos.
Thank
you
put
it
on
gotcha,
get
started,
I
just
wanted
to
make
mention
of
something
I'm
sure
we're
all
thinking
about,
which
is
the
decrease
in
population
in
San
Jose.
H
We
have
for
the
moment,
been
knocked
out
if
you
want
to
say
that
of
the
top
10
in
terms
of
population
in
the
country,
and
our
staff
is
digging
in
and
looking
at
analysis
as
to
what
this
truly
means
for
San
Jose
or
for
the
region
items
particularly
on
the
range
of
households
that
have
left
and
what
impact
on
revenues
and
in
what
sectors
those
those
impacts
are
identified.
But
it
does
tell
us
that
it's
been
many
years
since
the
leadership
group
and
others
of
us
have
hit
that
Bell.
H
We
really
need
Statewide
action
on
in
order
to
make
meaningful
changes
on
sequa
and
other
pieces,
so
it
is
something
that,
as
a
City
team,
will,
will
keep
pushing
on
not
only
to
regain
our
moniker
of
10th
largest
or
grow
to
ninth,
let's
say,
but
to
recognize
the
costs
and
the
impact
that
it's
having
on
our
communities.
At
what
loss
are
we
losing
our
our
citizens
with
that?
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
weren't
avoiding
what
is
very
much
toppled
mind.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
Nancy
saludos
to
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public.
Again,
my
name
is
Carlos
Velazquez
I'm,
the
public
information
manager
for
the
office
of
Economic,
Development
and
cultural
Affairs
and
I
was
back.
I
was
here
in
February,
I'm,
happy
to
be
back
here
again
with
you
this
time,
with
the
training
wheels
off
again.
I
The
following
items
in
this
report
reflect
the
blog
posts,
activities
and
Communications
by
your
office
in
the
previous
quarter,
but
before
I
begin,
I
wanted
to
share
a
more
recent
highlight
our
very
successful
small
business
month
event
that
we
hosted
on
Friday
May
12th.
Here
at
the
Rotunda,
we
had
more
than
130
small
San
Jose
small
businesses
owners
and
our
partners
attend
to
learn
from
local
experts,
some
practical
tips
that
can
boost
their
businesses
online
presence
as
well
as
Financial
Resources.
So
they
can
better
organize
their
tax
paperwork
or
apply
for
a
loan.
I
There
we
go
our
team
regularly
attends
or
presents
at
conferences
and
events
that
relate
to
Economic
Development
and
in
late
February.
We
attended
the
annual
conference
for
the
trade
Association,
formerly
known
as
the
international
Council
of
shopping
centers
and
rebranded,
as
innovating
Commerce
serving
communities
in
Monterey
retail
is
important
to
San
Jose
because
it
provides
needed.
Services
for
residents,
helps
create
vibrant
neighborhoods
and
provides
jobs
and
generates
City
Revenue
through
taxes.
I
Fun
and
sharing
of
ideas,
so
San
Jose
has
eight
sister
city
relationships
across
the
world
and
this
past
March.
We
welcomed
the
Lord
Mayor
of
Dublin
Ireland
and
a
Dublin
City
Council
delegation
to
celebrate
our
37
year,
San
Jose,
Dublin
sister
city
relationship.
This
was
the
first
official
visit
by
a
delegation
from
Dublin
since
2019..
I
The
next
generation
of
entrepreneurs
on
the
right
is
Fernanda
and
Jessica
Carrera

the
Michelin
star,
Adega
restaurant
on
1614,
Alum,
Rock,
Avenue
and
petiscos
on
South
First
Street,
which
also
was
just
added
to
the
Michelin
guide.
Our
blog
post
also
highlighted
Jamie
Howard
of
cadence
and
nutrition
Cafe
on
1941
Tully,
Road
and
June
Tran
of
Crema
Coffee
Roasting
Company
on
1202,
the
Alameda.
I
I
An
important
part
of
our
work
is
to
strengthen
and
sustain
key
business
neighborhoods
in
San
Jose
such
as
downtown
Japantown,
Alum,
Rock,
Winchester,
Boulevard,
Gaia,
Willow,
Monterey
Road,
the
Alameda
and
Alum
Rock
Village
among
others.
So
we
look
forward
to
sharing
more
stories
about
the
activities
related
to
this
work.
I
I
In
one
of
our
recent
blogs,
we
highlighted
some
of
the
recent
grand
openings
that
we've
been
able
to
support,
attend
and
celebrate
here
in
San
Jose,
which
include
hula
bar
and
kitchen
Rosario's
tacos
to
Maria's
Western,
Wear,
plant
Lush,
Willow,
Glen
and
K
J
sweets
and
bakery,
which
opened
just
last
week.
We
wish
these
businesses
all
the
best
and
encourage
you
to
try
out
their
yummy
food
and
services.
I
For
those
of
us
who
live
work
or
play
in
Downtown,
San
Jose,
we
know
the
work
needed
to
get
to
our
goal
of
a
thriving,
vibrant,
Downtown,
San
Jose.
But
what
about
those
who
don't
live
here?
What
do
they
think
of
downtown
and
one
of
our
guest
blogs
by
the
San
Jose
downtown
Association?
They
shared
some
of
the
observations
about
our
downtown
provided
by
out
of
town
residents
attending
the
West
Santa
West
Coast
Urban,
District
Forum,
an
event
held
this
past
march
by
the
San
Jose
downtown
Association
and
the
international
Downtown
Association.
I
I
Work
to
future
is
the
Workforce
Development
arm
of
our
office,
providing
services
to

job
Seekers
were
able
to
connect
with
employers
from
a
range
of
Industries
such
as
manufacturing,
government
finance
and
more.
These
events
are
one
of
work
to
Future's
greatest
resources,
helping
both
job
Seekers
and
employers
to
make
meaningful
strides
toward
their
career
or
hiring
goals.
I
The
summer
solstice
is
on
June
21st
the
longest
day
of
the
year,
and
it
is
also
make

world
for
musicians,
young
and
old,
of
all
skill
levels

neighbors
and
strangers.
Our
office
of
cultural
Affairs
team
has
been
proud
to
lead
the
local
edition
of
make
music
day
since
2017
and
have
been
working
to
recruit,
performers
and

part.
These
events
happen
in
a
DIY
fashion,
with
performances
happening
anywhere
from
community
centers
cafes
and
to
and
libraries.
I
As

we
had
28
venues
and
performers

places
such
as
Eastridge
Mall,
San,

of
venues
and
performers
soon
and
look
forward
to
sharing
them
with
your
offices
and
to
the
public,
and
some
other
quick
highlights
for
my
last
slide.
We
wanted
to
share
with
you
all
before
I
conclude
my
report.
I
One
is
that
our
colleagues
at
the
office
of
cultural
Affairs
have
partnered
with
the
center
for
cultural
Innovation,
on
two
opportunities
for
artists
who
live
and
work
in
San
Jose,
the
creative
economy
fund
and
San
Jose
business
of
Art.
The
economy
fund
provides
grants
of
up
to
eight
thousand
dollars
to
support
San
Jose's
Arts,
cultural
and
creative
businesses
and
the
San
Jose
business
of
art.
Opportunity
is
a
10-week
virtual
Workshop
that
enhances
the
business
skills
of
artists
and
entrepreneurs
here
in
San
Jose
and
the
South
Bay.
I
We
also
wanted
to
share
that.
The
third
round
of
our
small
business
rent
relief
grant
program
has
been
extended
through
June
30th,
to
allow
for
more
businesses
to
continue
to
apply.
Currently
our
grant
administrator,
the
Enterprise
Foundation
has
reported
that
we've
received
106
Grant
applications
since
the
start
of
the
third
round
in
March
and
out
of
those
who
have
reported
their
race
and
ethnicity.
94
of
those
are
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color.
I
Also,
we
get
asked
all
the
time
where
people
can
pick
up
one
of
those
cool,
San,
Jose
t-shirts
and
we're
happy
to
share
that.
Thanks
to
our
partners,
team
San,
Jose
Headliners
in
Japantown
has
become
the
official
retailer
for
San
Jose
merchandise
and
something
fun
to
put
a
smile
on
your
face.
As
I
and
my
our
report
wallet
Hub
named
San
Jose,
the
second
happiest
second
happiest
city
in
the
U.S
for
2023..
They
reviewed
30,
irrelevant
metrics
under
categories
such
as
emotional
and
physical
well-being,
income
and
employment
and
Community
involvement.
I
B
I
love
it.
Thank
you.
Carlos
I
appreciate
you
ending
with
a
positive
spin
on
all
of
that
good
great
information,
I
I,
really
love
to
see
the
focus
on
small
business
and
particularly
women
and
ethnic
owned
businesses.
That's
really
wonderful
to
see
so
many
thriving
and
seeking
opportunities
as
small
business,
business
individuals
owning
their
own
business
and
controlling
their
own
destiny.
It's
wonderful
I
will
first
turn
to
the
members
of
the
public.
Are
there
any
public
comments?
B
E
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
thank
you
from
the
Horseshoe
well,
I'm
glad
that
the
city
of
San
Jose
is
catching
up
to
the
ancient
world
who
has
been
celebrating
the
summer
solstice
for
eons
thousands
and
thousands
of
years,
in
particular
the
the
alignment
of
Chichen
Itza
during
the
summer.
Solstice
is
something
to
definitely
behold
so
I'm
glad
that
that
the
city
is
coming
to
in
alignment
with
the
rest
of
the
world
as
a
Mexican.
That's
a
it's!
E
E
The
banners
need
to
be
changed,
I'm,
hoping
that
somebody
can
convey
this
to
councilman
Torres,
that
those
banners
on
value
Willow
they
they
gotta
go
and
what
I
have
a
suggestion
for.
Is
that,
considering
that
the
first
headquarters
of
Low
Rider
magazine
is
located
at
325
Willow
and
no
325
Willow
is
Sacred.
Heart,
Church
and
294
is
the
low
rider
buildings
that
what
I'd
like
is
banners
attributing
that
Chicano
history
associated
with
those
two
areas?
There's
a
poll
for
a
flag
in
front
of
Sacred
Heart
Church.

Hi
I'm
glad
we've
been
here,
I
guess
a
thank
you
that
you
mentioned
you
know
people
leaving
San
Jose
and
possibly
the
Bay
Area
in
pretty
large
numbers
recently
and
trying
to
address
that
I
felt
you
know.
In
the
past
previous
years,
I
was
questioning
if
it
was
part
of
upcoming.
You
know:
earthquake
worries
that
we
had
to
consider
and
like
I've,
been
trying
to
say
this
past
year,
I'm
trying
to
very
much
calm
my
initial
feelings
and
and
feel
that
we
can
survive
this
fall.
D
That
I
hope
your
small
business
programs
are
learning
well
and
and
how
to
develop
that
communication
and
to
to
mention
Paul's
words
very
interesting
words
that
about
earthquake
retro,
15
things
that
it's
important,
that
we
talk
about
good
communication,
that
I
think
Jackie
Morales
she's
been
working
on
these
sort
of
policies
since
2015..
You
know
how
to
how
to
create
a
retrofit
planning
and
good
communication
skills
with
tenant
owners
and
or
with
with
apartment.
A
D
I
I
just
feel
she's
got
to
have
good
communication
skills
to
want
to
help
the
tenants
themselves
as
part
of
a
holistic
process
that
I'm
I
feel
she
really
wants
to
work
on
and
that
we
can
all
work
on
towards
towards
better
answers.
Good
luck
in
our
efforts
to
do
that
and
with
this
item
just
a
good
luck
in
communication
skills
talking
to
each
other
being
open
with
each
other
and
trusting
each
other
good
luck.
How
we
can
do
that
in
23.
thanks
back.
K
We
know
that
during
the
previous
election
or
previous
census,
we
lost
two
seats
in
California,
so
population
decline
in
California
is
pervasive,
not
just
in
city
of
San
Jose,
but
I
was
really
disturbed
by
the
reports
which
I
saw
from
San
Francisco,
the
Nordstrom
wholesale
whole
food
and
others.
Those
businesses
are
closing
moving
out
of
San
Francisco
because
they
say
we
just
cannot.
The
environment
is
not
suitable
for
us
to
be
able
to
operate.
While
we
are
pretending
paying
attention
to
our
small
businesses.
A
B
B
I
B
G
L
Thank
you
Rosalind
good
afternoon,
council
members
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
Aurelia
Bailey,
like
Rosalind
had
mentioned.
I
am
an
assistant
to
the
city
manager
from
the
city
manager's
office.
The
next
few
slides
I
will
be
covering
giving
you
an
update
on
the
10
recommendations
that
have
been
allocated
funding.
The
first
one
is
to
expand
Child
Care,
early
care
and
out
of
school
time.
L
L
So
this
slide
that
you're,
looking
at
the
very
top,
is
on
Community,
Health
and
Wellness.
This
prns
currently
has
an
existing
list
of
community-based
organizations
providing
senior
health
and
wellness
at
our
community.
Centers
prns
is
working
with
our
finance
department
to
ensure
Agreements
are
following
Federal
requirements.
The
other
portion
of
this
funding
is
to
provide
transportation
services
for
seniors
to
have
access
to
senior
nutrition
and
Senior
Health
and
Wellness
programs
at
community
centers.
L
The
next
two
recommendations
are
on
housing:
Latinos
United
for
new
America
Luna
will
conduct
Outreach
and
education
to
residents
on
renters
rights
and
housing
programs,
and
then
the
next
housing
recommendation
based
on
feedback
that
we
got
from
residents.
The
housing
department
indicated
that
the
best
way
to
provide
the
service
is
in
person
versus
online.
So,
as
a
result,
we
will
continue
to
provide
eviction.
Prevention.
Help
center
continue
to
actually
provide
funding
for
that,
and
they
will
be
able
to
at
least
support
70
household
a
month.
L
L
The
second
recommendation
on
small
businesses
is
contracts
will
be
amended
to
fund
Prosperity,
lab
Enterprise
foundation
and
Latino
business
Latino
business
foundation
for
technical
assistance
to
small
businesses.
The
goal
is
for
grantees
to
assist
150
businesses.
The
last
recommendation
is
to
increase
engagement
on
workers,
health
and
safety
and
rights.
Our
office
of
equality
Assurance
is
currently
working
on
a
grant
agreement
with
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
labor
standards
enforcement
to
support
a
two-year
pilot
program
to
expand
Outreach
and
education
for
businesses
to
prevent
wage
violations.
L
So
the
next
two
slides
that
I
will
be
covering
these
are
recommendations
that
are
unfunded
and
that
we
have
been
working
with
various
departments
in
terms
of
what
recommendation
would
be
ready
for
possible
consideration
to
propose
funding
for
next
fiscal
year.
2024
2025..
These
are
the
ones
that
we
have
initially
identified
relating
to
Child
Care,
Community
engagement
workers.
L
Also
as
part
of
the
task
force
process,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
previous
slide,
we
have
piloted
the
promotorus
program.
These
are
our
trusted
neighborhood
leaders
that
have
been
educating
residents
on
our
existing
City
programs.
We
have
contracted
with
three
cbos
and
have
trained
a
total
of
21
promotoras.
Since
September
of
last
year,
our
promotoras
have
been
able
to
reach
over
15
000
residents.
We
have
allocated
funding
in
the
current
budget
to
continue
the
program
to
the
next
fiscal
year.
L
So
what's
next
next
steps
for
us
in
terms
of
the
rest
of
the
recommendations,
we
will
continue
to
work
with
the
various
departments
for
possible
consideration
to
propose
for
future
funding,
ensure
relevant
task
force.
Recommendations
are
Incorporated
in
the
Children
and
Youth
master
plan
process
and
finalize
our
outcome
metrics.
M
B
N
E
You
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
I
would
request
expansion
on
the
promotoras
program.
You're
gonna
need
it
and
in
line
that
request
with
the
safe
earthquake
proofing
thing
believe
me
when
you,
when
you
look
at
the
scope
of
the
work,
that's
going
to
need
to
be
done,
it
is
going
to
be
absolutely
necessary,
but
all
over
the
city,
not
just
in
one
particular
area
but
literally
all
thousands
of
apartment
complexes
are
going
to
be
impacted
and
the
city's
not
be
they
want
to
be
quiet
about
it.
E
The
other
thing
is:
there's
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
being
allocated
for
small
businesses
and
only
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
Children
kids
babies,
people
in
our
Barrios,
you,
let
me
give
you
another
statistic:
is
that
the
Chicano
community
in
the
Mexicano
community
and
the
Latino
community-
and
there
are
three
distinct
communities-
Chicano
Mexicano,
Latino,
very
distinct.
We
bore
the
greatest
weight
of
what
happened
during
Kobe.
It
was
our
community
because
not
only
did
we
did,
we
experience
the
most
deaths,
the
most
covert
infections,
but
we
were
the
ones
that
held
the
city.
E
We
were
the
backbone
of
this
city
and
when
you
allocate
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
these
programs
that
are
dealing
with
the
for
child
care,
you
know
the
people
in
those
areas
were
affected.
They
got
family
members
did
die
family
members
that
were
sick,
but
600
000.
To
no
matter
of
fact,
when
you
add
it
all
up,
it's
750
000,
there's
a
600
000
allocation,
then
150
000
allocation.
What
I
would
like
is
those
to
be
reversed.
E
J
D
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
good
luck
to
our
covid
recovery
efforts.
Boy,
it's
nice
to
offer
those
sort
of
words:
I
hope
that
you're
considering
the
concepts
of
the
zoom
meeting
process
and
that
I
think
it
does
a
pretty
interesting
thing
for
the
community
process.
It's
been
a
bit
of
a
difficult
journey
in
Santa,
Clara,
County
Board
of
supervisor
level.
D
F
Covid-19
impact
my
district
quite
significantly
due
to
the
nature
of
our
the
community,
the
working
class
families,
this
the
places
they
work
and
just
the
the
services
and
resources
that
are
in
the
vicinity
of
the
east
side.
It's
it's
safe
to
say
that
many
of
our
immigrant
communities,
members
of
The,
Immigrant
Community,
went
to
work
when
a
lot
of
other
populations
were
Sheltering
in
place.
So
it's
really
important
to
me
that
this
these
dollars
are
provided
with
an
equity,
lens,
I,
I,
I.
F
F
So
I
I
appreciate
that
very
much.
The
effort
that's
going
in
I
also
appreciate
the
support
for
small
businesses
during
the
pandemic.
All
the
PPP
loans
a
lot.
A
lot
of
resources
from
the
federal
government
went
to
large
businesses
who
very
much
didn't
need
those
resources
to
the
level
of
our
our
small
businesses,
especially
our
immigrant
ones,
and,
and
you
know,
East
and
downtown
in
West,
San
Jose
they're,
the
number
one
provider
in
my
district,
local
small
businesses,
every
Taqueria
nail
salon.
They
provide.
You
know
jobs
to
to
local
residents.
F
Majority
of
the
people
they
hire
are
our
East
Side
residents,
so
I
can't
understate
how
much
I
I
support
this
and
I
also
sought
a
lot
of
organizations
that
I
consider
Partners
Latino
business,
Foundation,
Prosperity,
Labs,
Enterprise
Foundation.
Those
are
organizations,
do
an
excellent
job
reaching
out
to
our
mom
and
pop
and
immigrant
owned
businesses.
So
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
this
plan,
and
thank
you
for
your
efforts.
O
Thank
you
so
much
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
council
member
Ortiz
covered
a
lot
of
the
areas
already
for
the
community
that
really
suffered
a
lot.
I
was
interested
in
the
promaturas
program.
I
know
that
it's
had
a
lot
of
success
and
that
you
know
in
terms
of
continuing
funding
for
23
24,
it's
a
half
a
million
I'm,
just
wondering
how
much
had
been
done
previously
in
terms
of
how
much
funding
did
it
have
in
the
previous
year
that
it
achieved
all
of
this.
O
Million
okay,
okay
I
was
just
wondering
in
terms
of
and
I'll.
Let
you
finish
answer
the
answering
the
question,
but
I
was
just
wondering
in
terms
of
because
they
really
got
a
lot
done
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
the
half
a
million
was
going
to
be
sufficient
and
what
you
know
if
they
spent
half
a
million
this
year
and
got
these
results.
What
would
next
year
look
like,
and
so
is
that
your
your
anticipation.
O
O
But
you're
saying
that
you're
getting
more
promotoras,
so
it's
I
just
want
to
know,
is
you
know
like
if
there's
sufficient
dollars
to
be
able
to
achieve
what
you'd
like
to
achieve,
because
it
seems
to
me
that
reaching
out
to
fifteen
thousand
is
is
quite
a
bit,
and
so
that's
really
my
question.
If
you're
going
to
do
the
same
thing,
you
did
last
year
just
this
year
and
you
have
the
same
amount
of
funding
from
last
year
that
you
had
this
year.
So.
G
Vice
mayor,
if
I
could
just
step
in
and
hopefully
answer
your
question,
so
what
we
anticipate
is
actually
we'll
be
able
to
reach
double
the
amount
of
our
residents
and
small
business
and
other
stakeholders
in
our
community.
That
is
our
goal,
so
we're
hoping
to
reach
like
another
15
000,
if
not
more.
G
We
are
very
much
going
to
be
looking
into
you
using
promoters
to
share
the
information
about
the
program
so
that
our
residents,
our
tenants,
can
understand
what
the
program
is
about
to
alleviate
any
fears
and
really
just
to
get
out
the
important
facts
about
the
program.
So
that's
just
one
example,
but
to
your
point
we
anticipate
reaching.
O
B
F
B
H
Hi
again
Nancy
Klein
office
of
Economic
Development,
we're
here
with
an
update
on
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market.
It's
a
status
report
which
we
had
promised
that
we
would
come
periodically
to
the
cedc
committee
and
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
things
and
notice
that
Roberto
is
in
the
audience
with
us
and
glad
he's
here
and
glad
for
the
partnership.
H
P
You
so
much
Nancy
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
adolferuelas
business
development
officer
with
OED
and
I'm.
Just
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
with
a
quick
reminder
of
the
council
Direction
baked
into
this
project.
Then
summarize
the
latest
status
report
from
the
property
owner
and
followed
by
updates
and
on
the
resources
being
offered
mentioned
by
Nancy
and
the
three
studies
underway
and
Advisory
Group.
P
All
right
so,
as
most
of
you
might
be
familiar
in
2021
the
reasoning
project
included,
there
was
a
resulting
project
approved,
which
included
many
Provisions
intended
to
support
the
vendors.
As
we
approached
the
closure
of
the
market
and
the
site.
Redevelops
First
Council
directed
staff
to
engagement
during
the
process
and
to
offer
small
business
support
to
them
as
well.
P
P
P
So
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
summary
of
the
of
the
most
recent
quarterly
report
submitted
to
the
city.
The
reasoning
required
the
property
owner
to
provide
reading
notice,
at
least
one
year
in
advance
of
closing
the
flea
market,
which
was
July.
1St
2023
was
what
was
where
it
was
initially
established
in
the
in
the
rezoning
ordinance
is
the
soonest
they
can
provide
that
provide
that
notice.
P
P
P
P
Council
approved
the
program
concept
and
contract
with
Mission
asset
Fund
in
December.
2022
MAV
has
already
initiated
Outreach
for
the
program
on
April
26
and
we
continue
encouraging
all
vendors
to
make
the
most
of
these
valuable
resources
for
navigating
the
transition
process
and
achieving
success.
P
P
P
P
P
Now
we
have
developed
the
this
sequence
of
meetings
to
develop
the
plan
with
The
Advisory,
Group
and
broader
vendor
Community.
The
next
two
meetings
will
focus
on
the
studies
on
their
way
for
striving
deeper
into
the
methodology
and
Reporting
back
on
key
findings
from
the
data
collection
phase.
Later
we
will
explore
the
full
set
of
options
and
opportunities
under
consideration
to
create
a
high
level
plan,
of
course,
influenced
by
by
The
Advisory
Group
recommendations.
Q
All
right,
hey,
council
members,
my
name
is
Roberto
Gonzalez,
president
of
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market
vendors
Association
I'm,
here
in
support
of
the
homies
here,
Adolfo
and
Nancy
in
the
update
really
happy
to
have
kicked
off
The
Advisory
board
meeting,
and
it
was
really
well
attended
and
really
good
dialogue
as
well.
Just
a
second.
Q
But
just
this
weekend
we
received
notice
that
on
July
1st,
there
will
be
a
rent
increase
for
every
single
vendor
at
the
Flea
Market
vendors
have
been
engaged,
Through,
The,
Advisory
Board
process
and
are
eagerly
waiting
for
the
data
from
the
economic
studies
and
additional
work
that
I
know
will
show
the
greatness.
The
Pulga
holds
not
only
economically
but
as
the
largest
attraction
that
San
Jose
has
to
offer.
Q
But
while
we
are
trusting
the
process,
the
management
and
owners
continue
to
work
against
the
vendors
and
not
help
us
set
up
for
success,
such
as
changing
the
time
of
free
entrance,
increasing
the
parking
by
nearly
50
percent
and
zero
marketing
and
advertising
to
help
promote
the
businesses
at
the
flea
market.
Like
I
said,
those
are
just
a
few
things
to
mention
that
they've
been
working
against
the
process
and
against
vendors,
and
as
Nancy
has
just
mentioned,
we
need
your
guys's
help.
We
need
city
council
help.
Q
We
are
asking
the
city
to
give
full
commitment
to
the
future
of
the
market
and
the
vendors.
We
need
a
market
that
is
run
by
vendors
and
for
vendors.
We
are
talking
about
over
500
vendors
and
their
families
that
are
at
risk
of
losing
their
businesses.
One
way
that
the
city
can
give
a
stronger
commitment
is
by
purchasing
the
five
acres
or
based
on
the
studies
saying
that
we're
going
to
commit
to
having
a
new
flea
market
in
San
Jose.
Thank
you.
R
B
We
actually
don't
do
that.
We
don't
we're
looking
at
budgeting,
that
for
future
meetings
in
the
fiscal
in
the
new
budget,
but
it's
traditionally,
we
haven't
had
them
to
a
community
meeting
unless
our
committee
meeting,
unless
it's
an
issue
that
we
think
is
going
to
bring
in
a
lot
of
people
like
Coppa,
we
had
translations.
C
A
A
O

R
O
R
R
R
E
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
interpretation.
Councilwoman
may
I
continue
to
be
impressed
by
your
performance.
As
a
representative
of
my
city,
the
barriers
of
flea
market
is
a
disappointment
to
me
they're,
very,
very
disappointing,
because
it's
it's
not
just
the
you
know
we're
just
going
to
take
this
land
and
we're
going
to
build
housing
and
everybody's
going
to
be
happy
and
nice,
because
it's
housing
right.
E
We
used
to
go
back,
we
used
to
go
there
and
break
dance
and
pop
back
in
the
1980s,
and
it
was
a
very
significant
cultural
center
and
it
it
contributed
to
the
formation
of
San,
Jose's
identity
and
initially
I'd
asked
for
30
million,
because
I
knew
things
like
this
were
going
to
start
happening,
that
five
million
each
day
that
goes
by
is
being
chipped
away
at
and
I
kept
pushing
pushing
hard
on
paralysis,
30
million
dude.
These
are
your
boys
because
he
works
with
the.
E
He
he's
he's
basically
the
the
bum
family's
boy
because
he
worked
on
the
gaming
Commission,
and
so
it
just.
It
really
really
disappointed
me
because
it
was
conversations
it
would
have
with
Roberto
and
I
respect,
Roberto
and
the
work
and
the
commitment
that
he
does,
but
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
our
people
getting
shot
on
these
issues.
Now
they,
the
developers,
have
the
money,
they
have
the
bread
to
increase
this
grant
allocation,
and
why
is
it
that
only
certain
business
owners
and
certain
small
businesses
are
respected?
E
But
we
call
the
people
at
the
Flea
Market
vendors?
No,
these
are
small
businesses
and
I
and
I'm
asking
that
they
be
considered
in
the
same
category,
because
we
got
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
during
covet
going
to
small
businesses,
but
the
vendors
got
the
shaft
and
I'm
tired
of
it
man.
This
is
an
equity
issue
and
we
need
some
backbone
on
it.
J
D
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
yeah,
my
my
childhood
was
very
much
formed
by
the
San
Jose
Flea
Market
I
used
to
have
posters
from
the
flea
market,
All
Around,
My,
Room
cooking,
my
youth
one
was
of
a
big
tiger.
One
was
a
Spider-Man.
Peace,
love
and
joy
was
another
one,
so
I
mean
it
was
an
important
part
of
my
childhood.
D
So
thanks
good
luck
in
these
issues
of
how
we
developed
the
future
of
the
flea
market,
they
just
had
a
planning
issue
that
was
brought
to
the
Planning
Commission.
It
was
housing
that
was
not
technically
connected
to
the
flea
market,
but
it
was
around
the
flea
market
and
I
I
just
feel
it's
incredibly
important
that
the
future
of
Flea
Market
vendors
have
a
very
significant
role
in
in
not
just
you
know,
bargaining
for
a
few
additional
Acres,
if
possible,
for
the
future
of
a
flea
market.
D
But
how
to
you
know
create
the
design
of
the
future.
The
flea
market
itself
I
think
they
can
offer
ideas
that
would
simply
amaze
and
Astound.
You
know
current
developers
and
designers
and
really
work
towards
the
goals
of
a
Cooperative
process
and
that
I
I
just
think
there
would
just
be
a
more
natural
feel
in
the
future
design
if
you
allow
input
from
vendors
and
and
to
allow
them
to
help
shape,
you
know
an
additional
acre
or
tube
for
themselves.
You
know
as
well
that
can
also
take
place.
D
J
C
M
Yes,
dear
chapali,
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Jesus
Flores
executive
director
of
Latino
business
Foundation,
Silicon,
Valley
I,
am
calling
in
support
of
the
very
sf3
market
report
from
the
office
of
Economic
Development
and
cultural
Affairs
I
am.
We
are
very
happy
that
the
first
meeting
of
the
flea
market,
Advisory
Group,
has
taken
place
and
had
a
strong
vendor
involvement,
and
this
is
something
that
we
have
been
strongly
advocating
for.
M
However,
there
is
a
new
concern
on
our
minds
this
past
weekend
this
this,
the
vendors
got
Innovative
notification
that
the
rain
will
go
up
again,
starting
on
on
July
1st.
The
vendors
have
been
active
and
trustingly
in
the
system,
but
the
flea
market
manager
management
keeps
undermining
them.
Actions
like
changing
three
entry
hours,
hiking
up
parking
fees
by
about
50
and
not
promoting
that
the
flea
market
is
opened,
is
a
way
to
again
not
support
these
vendors.
The
rent
hike
of
5.5
percent
is
not
good
for
the
vendors
and
their
businesses.
M
It
is
just
an
another
way
to
push
out
the
vendors
we
must.
As
as
Roberto
mentioned,
we
are
talking
about
over
500
Sellers
and
their
families
who
stand
to
lose
their
businesses.
We
must
ensure
that
any
new
Public
Market
to
be
built
on
the
spare
five
acres
is
planned
and
run
by
the
current
vendors
at
the
flea
market.
Lastly,
I
want
to
again
personally
express
my
gratitude
to
the
team
at
the
office
of
economic
development
for
their
notable
efforts
to
support
the
Berryessa
free,
Market
vendors.
Thank
you.
S
Just
since
2021,
when
the
flea
market
rezoning
was
approved
by
this
city
council,
the
very
first
thing
that
property
owners
did
when
the
rezoning
was
approved
was
they
raised
the
parking
rates
they
Justified,
raising
the
parking
rates
to
match
what
is
charged
at
the
sap
Center
for
events
and
also
at
Great
America
for
events
having
exactly
nothing
to
do
with
with
supporting
vendors
and
small
businesses
like
at
a
shopping
center.
The
next
thing
that
they
did
was
raised.
S
Even
though
it's
in
the
flea
market,
the
Berryessa
Bart
flea
market
Urban
Village
plan
area,
we
know
that
those
homes
are
not
going
to
quote
pay
for
themselves.
The
city
has
explained
to
us
over
the
years
that
single-family
homes
are
a
cost,
and
yet
nothing
is
being
done
to
help
the
vendors
in
the
meantime.
So
I
want
to
ask
you
to
please
consider
this.
How
it
looks
when
you
tie
all
of
these
different
threads
together
and
support
the
vendors
even
more.
Thank
you.
T
Hello,
my
name
is
Mariana
Mejia,
the
vice
president
of
the
varies
of
flea
market
vendor
Association,
that
represents
over
250
vendors
at
the
market.
I'm
excited
that
we
started
this
conversation
talking
about
businesses,
but
we
never
talk
about
micro
businesses,
who
are
the
true
backbone
of
San
Jose,
who
paid
taxes
in
San
Jose
on
May
17.
T
The
visor
Boris
met
for
the
first
time
after
weeks
and
months
of
collaboration
with
the
city,
but
yet
the
city
told
the
vendors
to
take
a
leap
of
faith
that
your
own
oppressor
that
even
though
they're
going
to
be
at
the
table,
they
will
help
you
the
same
weekend.
Like
all
of
my
colleagues
have
said,
we
got
a
rent
increase
that
rent
increase
was
only
given
in
English.
We
had
a
lot
of
vendors.
Come
to
us,
explain
to
us.
What
does
this
say?
What's
going
to
happen
to
my
business
yeah?
T
N
D
N
Thank
you
so
much
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
I'm
a
vendor
at
the
flea
market
for
the
last
18
years
and
I'm
part
of
the
onboard
Association
vendors
I
would
like
to
also
support
my
all
my
colleagues
issues
we
are
struggling
so
hard
to
be
able
to
after
pandemia
continue
having
or
small
businesses,
and
we
would
like
to
hear
and
also
your
support
from
the
city
I
mean
we
are
our
community.
We
are
most
of
us.
The
vendors
are
here,
videos.
N
N
We
understand
that
everyone
is
going
to
struggling
after
pandemia,
but
it's
really
really
hard
for
us
with
all
these
issues,
with
a
bomb
family
now
they're
increasing
the
rent,
I'm
pretty
sure
after
this
is
going
to
be
increasing
the
parking
lot
and,
like
my
other
colleague,
said
most
of
the
people
who
goes
to
the
flea
market
are
people
like
us
or
it's
Hispanic,
Community
being
a
Vietnamese
community,
and
we
are
the
one
who
support
this
city.
Please
help
us
out,
don't
leave
us
just
like
okay,
we
will
work
on
it.
N
C
T
T
Think
my
only
comment
will
be
is
that
the
owners
sit
and
they're
loader,
if
I
will
send
to
you
that
they're
willing
that
this
rent
increase
but
might
be
yearly
if
it's
yearly,
why
are
they
telling
city
council
that
they're
going
to
give
the
one
you
notice
on
October?
For
me,
it
seems
that
the
rent
increase
is
for
the
event
for
the
vendors
to
pay
the
5
million.
T
So
it
just
does
not
make
sense
to
me.
Why
tell
vendors
that
this
rent
will
be
yearly
and
also
tell
them
that
there
might
be
closure
on
October,
I.
Hope
city
council
truly
understands
that
right
now,
Roberto
and
I
are
speaking
for
over
250
vendors,
who
are
petrified
and
scared.
Since
the
notice
God
happened,
I've
been
getting
calls
from
vendors
telling
me
that
their
rent
from
their
Apartments
is
going
to
increase
on
June,
how
the
hell
are
they
going
to
pay
extra
on
their
apartments
and
extra
at
the
flea
market.
T
I
know
of
two
vendors
who
don't
live
in
San
Jose
anymore
since
February,
because
they
just
couldn't
pay
the
rent
anymore
right
now,
you're
getting
evicted,
vendors
are
being
evicted
from
their
house
and
from
their
jobs
from
their
small
business
and
their
dreams,
because
a
small
business
is
a
dream
that
they
have
with
their
family
hope.
You
truly
do
something
to
support
vendors.
B
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
public
comment.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
and,
and
then
I'll
acknowledge
a
council
member
Ortiz.
The
first
is
regarding
the
notification.
It
looks
like,
according
to
your
presentation,
that
the
vendors
are,
the
owners,
aren't
notifying
the
vendors
until
October
1st.
Do
they
then
have
a
year?
Is
that
a
year
notification.
H
Thank
you
for
the
question
chair.
The
the
owners
in
this
instance
were
previously
stating
that
the
and
the
agreements
say
the
earliest
they
could
give
notice
was
July
1st
the
owners
backed
that
up
so
that
the
earliest
they
could
give
notice
is
October.
1St
won't
happen
in
the
summer,
which
is
a
key
Peak
selling
time
and
they're
they're,
not
saying
that
they
will
for
sure
give
notice
chair.
They
were
saying
it's
that
earliest
possible
and
to
staff's
understanding
there.
H
B
B
What
I
wanted
to
clarify?
That's
what
I
wanted
to
get
to
so
October
1st
they're,
not
giving
a
90-day
notice
that
their
lease
is
expiring.
They
have
October,
theoretically,
If
October
1st
is
when
they
make
the
notice
notification
they
have
until
September,
30th
2024.
correct.
Is
that
right?
Okay,
that
that's
what
I
wanted
to
know
and
also
they
the
rent
increase?
The
timing
is
really
questionable,
but
is
do
the
city's
role.
B
B
F
Thank
you
so
much
Madam
chairwoman,
first
I
just
want
to
just
mention
how
important
this
project
is
to
both
my
office,
my
district
and
of
myself,
one
of
my
first
jobs
as
an
adult.
Well
as
a
young
adult,
was
working
at
the
flea
market
and,
like
many
I,
grew
up
going
there
like
several,
like
majority
of
the
residents
in
in
East
San
Jose.
F
You
know
when
this
whole
discussion
was
first,
you
know
happening.
I
wrote
an
art,
an
op-ed
in
regards
to
the
flea
market
and
how
it
was
it's
extremely
important
to
preserve
outside
markets
and
the
cultural
effect
that
they
have
on
the
city
and
just
the
the
regional
draw
that
the
Berryessa
Philly
Market
has
so
I
plan
to
be
extremely
active
in
the
future
for
the
vendors
to
make
sure
that
whatever
happens
in
there
and
their
favor
is
done
well.
F
Whatever
happens
in
regards
to
this
conversation
is
done,
focusing
on
the
vendors
and
their
experience,
because
they're
most
vulnerable
in
the
in
this
conversation
you
you
answered
one
of
my
questions.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
know
what
sort
of
role
or
what?
What
sort
of
conversation
we
can
have
with
the
proper
property
owners
in
regards
to
this,
because
I
I,
absolutely
you
know,
despise
what
is
being
done
right
now
by
the
property
owners.
F
Think
that's
currently
what
the
property
owners
are
doing
to
the
to
the
vendors
at
a
time
where
they're,
having
a
hard
time,
even
attracting
people
to
the
flea
market,
you
know
they're,
raising,
rent
they're,
raising
rent
for
them,
they're,
raising
the
cost
it
takes
to
park
in,
on
that
site,
they're
reducing
the
size
of
the
market,
it
seems
like
they're
just
doing
everything
they
can
to
push
out
vendors
or
just
impact
them
financially
and
I.
Think
that
is
wrong.
So
you
know
one
thing
that
is
in
my
power.
F
One
question
I
think
that
may
have
not
come
up
is:
is
the
city
supporting
Flea,
Market
vendors
that
are
looking
for
our
brick
and
mortar
sites?
Is
there
any
program
to
help
them
identify
sites
and
I'm
sure,
like
those
are
all
they're
with
that?
Come
like
different
types
of
bills,
Rent
All,
you
know
Gas
and
Electric
all
that
type
of
stuff?
Is
there
any
sort
of
services
being
provided
to
them
around
that.
D
H
There's
a
lot
of
ideas
that
we
want
to
bring
forward.
Certainly
work
to
have
individual
stores
or
or
even
shared
locations
is,
is
on
the
list.
So
we've
begun
to
identify
in
the
reports
that
Adolfo
mentioned.
So
we
will.
We
haven't
developed
a
separate
layout
of
any
proposal
at
that
point,
but
what
you're
speaking
of
is
certainly
on
the
list
as
an
opportunity.
F
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
I
know:
we've
had
one
come
in
into
District
Five
in
the
past
and
I.
Don't
think
there
was
a
lot
of
obstacles
and,
unfortunately
they
went
out
of
business.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
these
Flea
Market,
vendors
are
maybe
looking
at
Brick
and
mortars
that
the
city
can
support
them
with
taking
on
this
new
level
of
work
that
may
be
impacting
their
businesses.
F
F
Think
having
both
perspectives
are
extremely
important,
and
you
know
I
hope
that,
as
this
process
moves
forward,
I'm
definitely
going
to
be
pushing
to
find
an
alternative
site
for
the
Flea
Market
vendors
for
those
who
do
not
make
it
into
the
three
acres
or
whatever
the
amount
of
Acres
that
the
the
bum
family
is
going
to
be
providing
and
to
make
sure
that
as
the
the
dollars
are
being
allocated,
they
are
allocated
in
a
way
that
focuses
on
equity
and
the
best
interests
of
the
vendors.
Thank
you.
F
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
and
finally,
just
to
elaborate
I
know
that
we
don't
essentially
have
authority
as
the
vendors
negotiate
with
the
property
owners.
But
is
there
any
legal
resources
we
could
at
least
point
the
vendors
to
as
they
negotiate
or
as
they
think
about
ways
in
which
they
can
advocate
for
their
vendors
foreign.
H
K
I
was
in
I,
wasn't
planning
to
ask
any
question
on
this
one,
but
after
hitting
some
public
comments
and
also
the
concerns
rhyme,
my
colleague
council
member
Ortiz
I
thought,
when
I
first
saw
this
project
reported
that
a
very
solid
structure
had
been
put
in
place
to
make
this
project
to
be
a
totally
acceptable
project
to
the
community.
To
the
current
vendors,
who
are
there
to
the
owners
and
to
the
city.
K
But
Nancy
is
it.
Things
are
not
proceeding
as
designed
because
the
CAC
or
the
task
force,
which
were
put
together
I
thought
they
were
going
to
be
able
to
bring
pretty
homogeneous
kind
of
relationship
between
all
parties
involved,
and
the
project
was
going
to
move
very
smoothly
in
unison.
But
seeing
some
of
the
complaints
being
expressed
is
something
in
the
structure
not
working
as
designed.
H
H
didn't
include
any
provision
for
the
vendors
for
the
small
businesses
personally
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
saying
straight
up
small
businesses.
At
that
time
the
city
could
have
frankly
extracted
as
asked
for
benefits
that
is
not
uncommon.
Now,
and-
and
that
didn't
happen,
so
council
did
a
yeoman's
job
to
to
work
with
the
property
owner
for
the
five
million
dollars
that
was
being
discussed,
as
well
as
the
requirement
for
exploration
of
a
five-acre
next-gen
flea
market.
But
that's
why
this
is
challenging
there.
H
There
isn't
any
current
requirement
that,
beyond
the
identification
of
a
possible
five
acres
which
would
have
to
get
funded
either
out
of
the
5
million
or
the
seven
and
a
half
million
when
you
combine
City
and
property
owner
funds,
so
that
that's
what's
challenging,
we
we
are.
We
are
creating
something
without
a
lot
of
tools
and
just
want
to
mention,
as
the
conversation
goes,
the
vendors,
the
small
businesses
as
tenants
really
don't
have
the
ability
to
negotiate
with
the
owners.
A
K
I'm
not
asking
for
anything
specific
I'm,
just
asking
for
something
like
what
council
member
Ortiz
has
asked.
If
you
can
suggest
us
anything
which
we
can
bring
to
bear
to
make
these
things
smoother,
because
this
is
a
huge
project
and
it's
going
to
be
an
exemplary
in
many
ways,
so
it
would
be
good
to
make
it
a
little
more
smooth.
Okay,
thank.
H
You
for
the
question
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
as
council
member
Ortiz
Epley
said,
for
the
record
going
forward
when
Council
approved
in
2007
the
the
notion
was
that
we'll
get
a
bunch,
more
density
and
housing
and
three
million
square
feet
all
of
of
commercial
right
at
the
footstep
of
Bart.
All
of
that
is
great,
but
the
the
notion
to
be
pointed
that
all
would
be
happy
wasn't
part
of
what
was
approved
as
there
was
no
specific.
H
O
Okay,
council,
member
batra
and
I
are
in
the
same
boat
in
terms
of
I,
wasn't
going
to
say
anything
but
given
what
is
before
us
and
given
some
of
the
information
from
the
public,
you
know
it's
unfortunate
that
the
train
has
left
a
station.
It
should
have
happened
back
in
2007,
it
did
not
and
therefore
we
have
what
we
have
right.
I
think
that
if,
if,
if
the
owners
or
anyone
is
listening,
you
know
regarding
this
item,
I
would
say
that
they'd
be
very
much.
Sort
of.
O
However,
I
want
to
say
there
is
a
time
when,
as
a
good
citizen,
they
should
do
something
to
be
able
to
alleviate
some
of
the
problems,
including
raising
parking
who's.
Gonna
want
to
go
right,
I
mean
it's
detrimental,
so
I
I,
just
I,
just
feel
that
if
you're
listening
out
there,
it
would
be
nice
for
you
to
come
to
the
table
with
a
solution
so
that
we
can
have
it.
As
council
member
batra
says
a
little
bit
more
smoothly.
F
F
You
know
I
appreciate
this
roster
that
you
that
has
been
put
together
in
regards
to
the
event.
The
vendors
and
just
particip
participants
was
kind
of
surprised
that
I
didn't
see.
A
representative
from
the
Vietnamese
Community
or
an
Asian
American
representative
was.
Was
there?
Was
it?
How
has
the
engagement
been
for
the
Vietnamese
vendors.
P
A
P
Did
have
internal
staff
Vietnamese
speaking
actually
Reach
Out,
calling
to
every
single
Vietnamese
speaker
person
that
we
had
in
our
list
and
unfortunately
there
was
no
interest
to
join
The
Advisory
Group
to
the
individuals
that
we
reached
out
right.
We
can
only
work
with
the
database
that
we
have
of
vendors
and
the
Vietnamese
vendors
that
we
did
have.
We
call
them
text
them
and
unfortunately
there
was
no
interest
to
join
that
Vice,
River
and.
H
A
P
F
Well,
I
know
that
people
on
the
the
vending
and
small
business
commute
are
very
busy,
so
I'm
sure
that
there's
a
lot
a
lot
of
things
going
on
just
thought.
That
was
worth
a
worth.
A
question
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
being
reached
out
to
and
contacted,
and
then
I
did
hear
that
there
was
an
announcement
at
the
5
17
advisory
meeting
that
the
city
will
be
able
to
have
a
stand
up
at
the
at
the
flea
market.
This
this
I
believe,
is
like
a
change
to
the
past.
A
F
B
Thank
you
just
to
wrap
this
up.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
and
thank
you
for
the
comments
of
my
colleagues.
I
think
they're
really
important
that
we
continue
to
advocate
for
the
flea
market,
small
business
owners
I,
really
like
the
the
shift
in
language.
That's
important.
Having
had
a
flea
market
business
myself,
actually
my
husband
did
and
I
would
come
and
work
with
him
every
Saturday
and
Sunday
for
a
long
time.
B
B
It
taught
us
the
value
of
hard
work
and
how
important
the
flea
market
really
is
and
it,
and
it
is
an
institution
that
we
should
make
sure
that
we
preserve
and
protect
and
keep
within
the
city
of
San
Jose
I
know
we
have
the
Capital
Flea
Market,
but
we
still
need
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market
as
well.
So
with
that
no
more,
oh,
is
there
a
motion
from
my.
C
B
K
U
So
today
we're
here
to
give
you
a
periodic
status
report
on
staff's
progress
on
the
top
five
four
priorities
under
our
city-wide
anti-displacement
strategy,
which
the
council
approved
in
September
2020..
This
is
our
14th
status
report
to
committee
or
to
full
Council
last
year,
thankfully,
at
your
direction,
we
reduced
the
number
of
anti-displacement
status
reports
to
this
committee
from
four
times
a
year
to
twice
a
year,
and
our
last
status
report
to
this
committee
was
in
September
2022..
U
This
slide
shows
the
top
four
recommendations
that
Council
directed
staff
to
work
on
one:
the
city's
eviction
prevention
efforts
as
they
related
to
our
covid-19
response
and
the
recovery
that
followed
second,
developing
two
kinds
of
tenant
preferences
for
applicants
to
affordable
housing.
That
would
help
prevent
displacement.
U
U
Third,
our
ongoing
efforts
to
develop
the
elements
of
a
preservation
program
and
to
prioritize
next
steps.
This
third
item
is
per
council's
Direction
and
it's
April
25th
council
meeting
staff
was
directed
to
quote
study
and
develop
a
work
plan
around
housing
preservation
and
return
to
the
CED
committee
and
to
council
regarding
opportunities
to
further
preservation
efforts.
V
Thanks
Kristen
so
as
part
of
the
covid-19
response,
the
housing,
housing
department,
efforts,
aided
San,
Jose
residents
and
landlords,
and
accessing
over
160
million
dollars
of
in
federal
emergency
rental
assistance
funds,
the
state
rent
relief
program,
disbursing
These
funds
closed
in
March
2022,
and
since
that
time
the
state
has
been
finishing,
processing
and
paying
out
all.
But
a
handful
of
pending
applications.
V
The
phasing
out
of
Statewide
eviction,
protections
related
to
rent
relief
applications
was
complete
on
June
30th
of
2022
in
response
to
the
backlog
of
rent
relief
application
and
the
overwhelming
need
not
quite
met
by
the
state
rent
relief
program.
The
housing
department
launched
an
eviction
diversion
program
to
bridge
the
gap.
The
program
kept
tenants
in
their
homes
and
paid
landlords,
the
rental
assistance
they
had
been
waiting
for
with
the
disbursement
of
all
the
Federal
Emergency,
rent
rental
assistance
funds.
The
covid-19
response
strategy
is
now
complete
and
we
have
transitioned
to
ongoing
eviction
prevention
efforts.
V
V
The
bars
on
this
graph
show
the
number
of
unlawful
detainer
or
eviction
lawsuits
based
on
and
holder
in
part,
on
unpayment
of
rent
that
are
filed
with
the
program
each
month.
The
line
graph
shows
the
number
of
non-payment
notices
that
have
been
submitted.
These
precede
a
lawsuit
being
filed,
so
they
give
you
an
indication
of
of
people
struggling
to
pay
rent.
As
you
can
see,
these
numbers
are
not
decreasing,
as
many
had
expected
them
to
After
People
returned
to
work
and
rental
assistance.
Funds
were
paid
out
so
evictions
for
non-payment
continue
to
be
a
problem.
V
Foreign
to
address
the
ongoing
issues
of
non-payment,
evictions
We
are
continuing
and
developing
the
following
efforts.
We
are
continuing.
Our
eviction
help
centers
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
Hopefully
as
robustly
as
we
can,
we
are
Contin
seeking
out
funds
to
continue
the
eviction
diversion
program
for
active
court
cases.
V
A
manager's
budget
addendum
was
submitted
in
response
to
the
mayor's
March
budget
message
outlining
the
Staffing
and
costs
of
continuing
these
efforts
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
Going
forward.
As
we've
wrapped
up
the
covid-19
response,
we
will
provide
a
standalone
report
of
eviction,
prevention
and
housing
stability
efforts
to
this
committee
once
a
year.
W
This
is
something
that
the
community
has
long
been
pushing
us
to
do,
and
it's
something
that
our
attorneys,
our
bond
Council
told
us
that
we
couldn't
do
unless
the
state
law
was
changed.
So
since
our
last
update
the
state
bill
that
we
sponsored
about
tenant
preferences,
SB
649
by
Senator
curtasi,
was
signed
into
law,
so
allowing
tenant
preferences
to
be
applied
to
affordable
housing
developments
with
tax
credits,
low
income,
housing,
tax
credits
and
tax
exempt
Bond
financing.
W
So
we
have
hired.
Besides
that,
we've
hired
an
onboarded
a
fuse
fellow
avni
Desai
who's.
Taking
this
body
of
work
forward
and
over
the
next
six
months
we
will
complete
a
disparate
impact
analysis,
which
is
practically
done,
but
it's
something
the
state
requires
us
to
do.
For
tenant
preferences
finalize
our
program,
design
and
conduct
stakeholder
Outreach
with
the
goal
of
completing
of
a
program
proposal
that
would
be
brought
back
to
CED
this,
this
body,
this
fall
of
this
year
and
then
Council
before
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
W
W
So
we
have
been
working
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
will
continue
to
work
to
support
these
commissioners
and-
and
next
steps
would
be
to
share
lessons
with
the
city
manager's
office,
the
clerk's
office,
to
continue
to
prove
on
the
process
to
recruit
persons
with
lived
experience
and
potentially,
to
have
more
commissions.
Do
the
same
next
slide.
Please.
W
So,
in
addition
to
this
recommendation,
number
eight
of
the
anti-displacement
strategy,
which
is
to
develop
a
yes
in
God's
Backyard
land,
use
this
this.
The
initial
outline
for
this,
the
concept
of
this
has
been
approved,
has
been
approved
by
Council
planning.
Building
in
Code.
Enforcement
pbce
still
needs
to
finish
implementation
of
this,
but
for
the
intents
and
purposes
of
being
on
the
housing
department,
anti-displacement
work
plan.
It's
it's
been
completed
where
we've
completed
our
role
in
participation.
W
So,
in
terms
of
next
steps,
we're
going
to
start
tackling
more
of
the
recommendations
from
the
anti-displacement
strategy.
This
means
we'll
be
working
on
developing
work
plans
for
for
the
remaining
recommendations,
including
number
six
increase,
quality
housing
quality
and
prevent
code
related
displacement,
number
seven,
create
a
preservation
policy
and
preservation,
housing
balance
report
and
this
one
is
bolded
up
there
on
the
slide.
W
Because
of
the
as
Christian
mentioned.
You
know,
staff
received
specific
additional
direction
from
the
council
at
the
at
the
council.
Meeting
April
22nd
last
April,
25th
I'm
sorry
last
year
last
month
develop
preservation,
program
options
to
be
to
be
presented
to
this
committee
before
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
So
I
have
a
little
bit
more
about
this
in
the
next
couple,
slides
and
then
recommendation.
Nine
of
the
anti-displacement
strategy
is
to
incorporate
affordable
housing
and
anti-displacement
policies
into
forthcoming
Urban
Village
specific
plans.
So
next
slide.
Please.
W
So
within
the
anti-displacement
strategy
that
was
approved
in
September
2020,
there
are
a
number
of
preservation
programs
already
identified
that
staff
would
be
looking
to
advance.
They
sent
it
around
non-profits
to
do
preservation,
work,
funding
and
data,
and
they
include
releasing
capacity
building
funds
for
small,
non-profit
community-based
organizations
or
not
necessarily
small,
but
for
communication
nonprofit
organizations
to
do
preservation,
work-
and
this
could
be
in
a
this-
could
be
a
community
land
trust.
W
W
You
know.
Second,
after
we,
we
issue
this
capacity.
Building
funding
we'd
ask
our
Consultants
to
redirect
back
to
completing
an
issue
issuing
an
acquisition,
rehab
nofa
notice
of
funding
availability,
but
this
would
be
to
the
extent
that
funds
are
available
for
preservation.
You
know
acquisition
rehab
next
year.
W
Third,
you
know
we
are
starting
work
right
now
on
a
housing
preservation,
balance
report.
So
this
will,
you
know,
give
us
the
data
to
make
informed
programmatic
decisions,
and
this
will
analyze,
affordable
homes
that
we'd
be
gaining
and
losing
both
in
you
know
already
already
sort
of
covenanted,
affordable
housing
and
informal.
Low-Cost
housing
and
we'd
have
a
spatial
analysis
of
this,
so
we'd
be
able
to
see
where
this
is
happening
throughout
the
city,
so
we
can
best
sort
of
to
Target
our
programming
moving
forward.
W
W
And,
finally,
you
know
we
would
cons.
We
are
also
looking
to
consider
how
how
we
could
get
like
a
third-party
lender
likely
a
non-profit
lender
or
a
community
development
financial
institution
to
set
up
a
San
Jose
fund
to
make
preservation
acquisition
loans.
So
you
know
this:
this
non-governmental
entity
would
be
able
to
act
faster
than
the
city
and
would
be
able
to
help
non-profits
to
buy
properties
and
then
seek
the
city's
periodic
preservation
notice.
The
funding
availability
when
as
they're
issued.
So
next
slide,
please.
W
So,
in
addition
to
the
preservation
programming
identified
on
the
previous
slide
and
under
the
anti-displacement
strategy,
we
will
research
and
analyze
additional
potential
preservation,
programs
and
policies
and
from
this
holistic,
more
comprehensive
list.
We'd
prioritize
work
for
the
near
and
medium
term,
higher
priority
work
items
will
be
integrated
into
a
revised
anti-displacement
strategy
and
through
that
strategy,
we'll
report
to
the
CED
committee
about
the
revised
programming
later
this
year.
W
Six
months
from
now
would
be
our
next
report,
so
November
and
every
six
months
there
thereafter
as
part
of
a
regular,
ongoing
updates
to
the
about
the
anti-displacement
strategy.
And
finally,
we
will
integrate
these.
These
near-term
preservation,
programming
goals
and
Milestones
into
the
forthcoming
housing
Catalyst
work
plan
and
report
to
the
city
council
about
progress
on
these
work
items
as
part
of
the
overall
ongoing
regular
reporting
for
the
housing
Catalyst
work
plan.
U
E
Thank
you,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe,
this
I'm
very
cautious
about
this
preservation,
language.
It's
Copa
re
reconstituted!
That's
all
it
is.
It
is
Copa
reconstituting,
so
I'm
asking
if
the
council
could
be
very
very
careful
about
that.
Secondly,
I'd,
like
some
data
information
as
to
who
is
being
displaced
by
ZIP
code,
you
have
the
data
you
have.
The
information
I
want
it,
because
I
want
to
know
exactly
why
you
have
a
displacement
strategy
to
begin
with.
I
mean
come
on
people
this.
E
He
has
all
of
that
information
and
they're,
not
producing
it,
because
they
want
to
use
ambiguous
and
and
a
vague
language
here
to
articulate
that
this
is
what
we're
doing
we're
doing
it
for
anti-displacement
and
and
like,
for
example,
using
the
words
affordable
housing
in
the
next
three
years.
What
is
that
going
to
mean
you're
using
it
now,
but
what
does
that
mean?
What
does
affordable
housing
mean
affordable
to
home?
You
know
this
is
It's
awfully
it
it.
E
D
A
lot
of
depth
in
how
to
talk
about
how
to
better
develop
a
Eli
and
Eli
practices.
Thank
you
for
that.
It's
my
understanding.
You
know
to
talk
about
the
issues
of
a
Copa,
just
a
real
thank
you
that
we
created
a
way
a
few
months
ago
now
to
continue
the
process
of
how
to
talk
about
Copa
internally.
To
keep
that
process
alive
in
in
these
sort
of
questions
is
I
find
to
be
incredibly
hopeful
and
helpful.
Good
luck.
D
Jackie
Moran
really
worked
on
the
concepts
of
creating
an
overall
holistic
policy
to
help
both
tenants
and
owners,
and
you
know,
earthquake
retrofit
was
a
really
important
concept
to
her,
not
just
for
owners,
but
that
would
help
you
know
with
lower
costs
and
be
of
help
to
tenants
as
well.
So
I'd
be
really
surprised
if
he
would
be
lacking
in
how
to
better
help
tenants
if
there
will
be
issues
of
them
being
asked
to
be
to
move
out
for
a
time
in
retrofitting
practices
of
owners.
D
F
Thank
you
so
much
Madam,
chair
I,
just
want
to
thank
the
housing
staff
for
their
efforts
on
this
extremely
important
topic.
Anti-Displacement
is
something
that
impacts
our
Working
Families.
If
you
look
at
the
areas
in
District
5,
where
they're
vulnerable
to
displacement,
it's
aligned
directly
with
the
history
of
redlining
and
displacement,
is
the
product
of
redlining
and
how
our
families
have
been
historically
negatively
impacted
by
policies
and
discriminatory
practices.
F
So
I
think
it's
really
important
that
our
city
is
doing
everything
it
can
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
bleeding
the
same
residents
who
have
made
the
city
great
and
made
it
what
it
is
today.
I'm
really
excited
for
the
update
in
regards
to
I
call
it
tenant
preference
ordinance.
People
call
it
different
things,
but
essentially
making
sure
that
the
people
who
live
in
vulnerable
areas
to
displacement
are
kind
of
given
a
priority
for
new,
affordable
housing,
which
I
think
is.
F
You
know
what
how
it
should
have
been,
but
unfortunately
it
hasn't
been
like
that,
due
to
state
laws
as
I
think
back
to
you
that
the
housing
that
the
affordable
housing
projects
that
we
have
voted
on
this
year.
Right,
obviously,
still
gots
to
go
through
development
funding,
all
those
different
things
right
there,
those
projects,
weren't
aren't
just
going
to
be
built.
F
You
know
overnight
when
we
do
vote
on
the
Ten
of
preference
ordinance
later
I
think
you
said
in
the
summer
or
later
in
later
in
the
year,
when,
when
will
these
that
ordinance
go
into
effect
right?
Will
this
be
with
the
will,
the
housing
that
we
we
voted
on
this
year
qualify?
Is
it
going
to
be
some
date,
I'd
love
for
any
information
on
that.
U
U
You
know
the
given
deal
and
again
the
focus
is
at
this
time
on
City
financed,
affordable,
so
I
think
it's
a
logistics
question
on
a
deal
by
deal
basis
as
to
when
the
ordinance
would
pass,
and
then
you
know
a
pretty
quick,
effective
date
as
our
hope,
because
we
want
to
set
expectations
for
all
the
parties
in
a
transaction
that
this
would
be
applied.
In
my
experience,
it's
not
usually
a
very
much
of
a
material
concern
to
the
other
parties
in
the
transaction
unless
they
need
to
see.
U
Council
may
need
to
see
our
findings
as
to
why
it's
a
legal
program
to
give
a
clean
bill
of
health
to
the
transaction.
So
so.
In
short,
we
would
be
coming
forward.
This
fall
to
the
committee
and
to
council,
and
we
would
hope
to
have
an
effective
date
very
shortly
thereafter
and
and
already
be
notifying
our
development
pipeline.
Folks
that
hears
the
status-
and
this
is
we're
hoping
that
lease
UPS
could
occur
with
the
preferences
in
place.
F
U
That
is
a
great
question.
We
have
to
look
more
closely
at
the
home
language
as
to
whether
they
they
would
need
to
approve.
My
guess
is
if
there
were
home,
used,
Federal
home
funds
used
in
a
project
that
that
project
may
not
be
eligible,
and
if
there
is
State
funding
in
a
given
project,
we
would
need
to
again
present
our
program
and
our
findings
to
the
state.
The
state
would
need
to
approve
that
our
programs,
as
a
lender,
to
give
an
okay
for
the
following
year
to
have
any
state
financed
projects
using
the
preferences.
What.
U
We
I
don't
know
of
any
prohibition
of
County
funds,
and
actually
we
would
be
contact.
Thank
you
for
reminding
me.
We
want
to
contact
the
County.
The
office
of
Supportive
Housing
make
sure
that
they
know
where
we
are
in
this
process
and
also
the
VTA
we
had
mentioned
to
them
that
in
their
stationary
developments,
we
would
really
like
to
be
able
to
implement
them,
even
though
you
know
whether
the
project
was
receiving
city
funding
or
not,
but
for
the
affordable
units
so
on
a
kind
of
a
negotiated
basis.
Yeah.
F
I'm,
just
thinking
about
you
know
in
practice
and
I
want
to
make
sure
as
we.
If
we
implement
it,
it's
a
policy
that
we
can
actually
utilize.
I
know
that
it'll
make
a
world
of
difference
for
our
families,
especially
all
the
developments
that
are
going
on
in
Alum
Rock
right
now.
It's
really
important
that
Mayfair
residents
and
just
Alum
Rock
residents
have
access
to
those
to
those
slots
also
another.
You
know
item
that
I
saw
that
I'm
very
much.
F
Supportive
is
Preservation
policy,
I'm,
really
supportive
of
your
work
in
there
and
my
understanding
is,
you
know
our
our
city
and
well
really
States
and
nationally.
We
you,
we
lose
affordable
housing
every
year,
whether
it's
for
properties
that
are
Beyond
repair,
property
owner
switch,
you
know
and
the
other
the
new
property
owner
doesn't
want
to
be
providing
the
same
services
to
the
public
or
resources,
so
just
making
sure
that
the
city
needs
a
preservation,
strategy
and
I.
Think
you
know
we
the
this.
F
K
We
have
out
of
covert
now
what
would
happen
if
you
just
close
those
programs
which
were
started
as
a
covid-19
programs
and
move
on
and
focus
only
on,
like
our
mayor,
says,
focus
on
one
or
two
programs
which
we
can
make
successful
like.
We
are
focused
on
homelessness,
unaffordable,
Supply
increasing
of
those
I
see
a
list
of
eight
more
programs
which
you
are
going
to
continue
to
study
and
develop
them
and
I'm,
not
too
sure.
Where
does
it
lead
us,
because
we
had
covered?
K
You
got
160
million
dollars,
assistance
given
away
to
the
deserving
candidates.
Okay,
now
covert
is
done,
funding
is
no
longer
there.
Our
project
is
complete
and
we
focus
our
attention
on
the
other
areas
which
we
were
given
to
work
on
this
it's
going
to
come
across
pretty
bad,
but
what
I'm
going
to
say?
This
is
a
work
to
create
work.
K
We
want
to
develop
more
strategies
about
displacement.
Like
one
of
the
public
comments
came
in
that
okay,
we
are
focused
on
and
and
housing
department
with
109
people
we
have
put
in
there
or
to
develop
those
homelessness
prevention
policies
and
affordable
homes.
Let's
use
our
every
penny.
We
got
and
bring
on
the
supply
as
quickly
as
we
can,
rather
than
get
ourselves
distracted
into
Copa
or
Copa,
like
things
and
all
that.
So
to
me,
it
looks
like
creating
work
for
the
sake
of
work.
Okay,.
U
Thanks
for
your
comments
and
if
I
could
respond
briefly
and
then
maybe
Emily
has
an
addition
response,
you
know,
like
all
big
cities,
we
have
to
be
able
to
walk
and
chew
gum.
At
the
same
time,
there
is
a
whole
host
of
work
that
we
do
and
could
be
doing.
That's
under
the
frame
of
anti-displacement
and
again
wear
anti-displacement
starts
and
stops
and
homelessness
prevention
starts
and
stops,
and
then
homelessness.
U
There
are
many
different
activities
the
city
can
do
and
roles
we
can
play
in
that
space.
So
the
policy
team
which
Josh
leads
is
focused
on
policy
and
program
development,
and
things
like
going
through
our
municipal
code
and
making
sure
references
to
relocation
benefits
are
consistent.
Things
like
that,
it's
not
going
to
require
the
same
kinds
of
funding
that
an
eviction,
prevention
or
diversion
program
with
rental
assistance
requires,
and
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
Emily
has
been
doing
so
really.
U
The
whole
department
is
motivated
to
help
stem
the
many
problems
we
see
in
our
market
and
development
and
homelessness.
Response
are
kind
of
two
big
pieces
of
that,
but
there
are
other
smaller
things
going
on.
At
the
same
time,
so
maybe
I'll
ask
Emily
to
comment
on
the
covid
funding
availability
and
whether
people
are
still
suffering
from
covid.
V
So
the
the
one
good
thing
is
that
that
came
out
of
this
covid,
the
rent
relief
program
is
that
it
forced
us
to
think
creatively
about
how
we
could
address
a
problem
that
was
happening
and
getting
bigger
before
the
pandemic.
So
we're
able
to
to
use
you
know
these
programs
to
try
to
at
least
stop
the
flow
of
just
of
people
who
maybe
just
had
a
hiccup
over
a
couple
of
months,
and
now
they
can't
pay.
V
They
couldn't
pay
their
rent
a
couple
months
and
now
they're
finding
themselves
an
eviction
Court
we're
able
to
keep
them
stably
housed.
But
the
underlying
problem
of
you
know
extremely
burdened
rent.
It
is
still
there
so
on
the
one
ICS
was
in
one
part
like
trying
to
just
stabilize
these
tenants
until
we
can
address
the
affordableness
of
rents
through
all
of
housing's.
Other
programs.
U
Thank
you
actually
Emily
said
that
really
well
and
I'll
just
add
on.
If
I
may,
the
anti-displacement
strategy
is
divided
up
into
the
3p
areas,
the
production,
preservation
and
protection
and
Emily's
talking
about
the
protection
programs
and
actually
the
housing
element
and
the
housing
Catalyst
work
plan
that
will
be
coming
before
you
all
has
all
three
p
components,
and
and
really
it's
a
recognition
that
we
cannot
produce
our
way
out
of
our
problems
alone,
and
so
we
need
to
do
some
preservation.
We
need
to
do
some
tenant
protections.
U
K
K
Can
we
work
on
getting
the
tenants,
the
assistance
which
they
really
need
through
Section
8,
and
if
we
need
to
lobby
for
getting
something
more
in
that
area,
which
is
more
a
permanent
solution,
then
you
have
13
000
people
or
thirteen
thousand
households
during
the
covert.
That's
a
one-time
situation.
We
understand
that,
but
there
is
a
more
permanent
needed.
The
federal
program
was
created
for
that
purpose.
So
can
we
put
our
energy
behind
helping
people
get
those
at
the
right
time
in
their
life?
So
that
would
be
my.
K
My
purpose
here
is
not
to
make
these
housing
department
look
busy
or
not
busy
or
look
bad
or
good
mine
is
that
I
want
to
give
some
permanent
assistance
to
the
people
who
need
it
with
the
as
few
programs
as
possible
so
that
we
are
efficient
in
our
work.
What
we
are
doing
so
in
that
context,
is
what
I'm
trying
to
give
you
my
suggestions.
K
So
please
look
at
those
that
if
we
can
leverage
something
which
is
existed
before
and
we
can
have
more
permanent
benefits,
if
you
need
to
create
more
programs,
obviously
you
will,
but
my
preference
would
be-
is
first
to
leverage
what
exists
make
them
more
efficient
before
you
create
new
ones,
because
that
cost
us
money
and
we
don't
have
that
kind
of
money
available.
Okay,.
U
Thank
you
and
I'll
say
this.
Section
8
is
a
is
a
very
dear
resource
and
it
is
wildly
over
subscribed
the
we
actually
have
the
city
of
San
Jose's
Housing
Authority,
which
does
not
have
any
staff
actually
contracts
out
with
the
County
Housing
Authority
to
administer
our
vouchers
and
really
we're
in
a
situation
where
potentially
40
percent
of
our
city
would
be
eligible
for
vouchers.
And
of
course
there
are
many
many
fewer
vouchers
than
that
so
you're,
absolutely
right.
O
Thank
you
if
I
may
I
will
add
a
little
bit
of
information
on
there
council
member
batra.
There
are
so
many
vouchers
that
have
no
place
to
go
so
I
do
know
that
the
county
has
like
2
000
or
something
like
that
sort
of
in
the
pipeline,
and
even
if
you
gave
someone
a
voucher,
if
they
have
no
place
to
use
it
or
to
go,
then
they're
still
sort
of
in
the
queue.
So
that's
a
that's
a
big,
a
big
sort
of
issue.
O
O
On
the
other
side,
oh
boy,
all
right,
no
I
was
just
curious,
because
I
do
know
that
this
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
for
all
your
work.
I
know
this
is
not
easy,
but
you
know
I'm
sure
that
you
know
sort
of
trying
to
move
forward,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
could
do
so.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
a
note
of
a
couple
of
things,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
Coppa
for
a
minute.
The
memo
says
that
Coppa
passed
or
Was
Defeated,
seven
to
four
I,
think
it
was
actually
nine
to
two
I
think
there
were
only
two
voting
against
it,
but
so
you
might
want
to
correct
that
in
your
in
your
memo
and
but
so
I,
but
I
don't
want
to
belabor
Copa,
because
we've
spent
way
too
much
a
lot
of
time.
You've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
it.
B
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
it.
I
do
have
questions
for
you
about
the
tenant
preference
which
I
really
like
that
idea.
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
allow
people
to
live
in
units
near
that
where
they
live
now,
but
I'm
curious
how
a
property
owner
would
Implement
that
and
whether
there
is
any
fair
housing
violations
by
making
that
requirement.
U
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair,
good
questions,
knowing
that
this
is
a
fair
housing,
very
sensitive
issue.
The
neighborhood
preference
that
we're
creating
would
allow
somebody
who
lives
in
the
neighborhood
to
apply
for
a
set-aside
of
units
that
otherwise
would
be
available
to
the
general
public
and
so
practically
speaking.
What
happens
is
that
the
property
managers
confirm
that
they're
allowed
to
have
two
lists,
as
they
receive
applications,
one
for
the
general
public
and
one
for
the
set-aside,
and
then
they
collect
applications.
U
So,
yes,
there
are
fair
housing
implications
and
we
have
to
make
sure
which
has
taken
a
little
bit
of
time,
with
the
disparate
impact
analysis
on
on
the
neighborhood
preference,
to
make
sure
that
we
would
not
be
furthering
existing
segregation
by
benefiting
people
who
are
from
that
area,
and
so
as
an
example
when
we
put
up
a
we
created
or
funded
Japantown
seniors
and
in
the
Japantown
area
anytime.
That
local
folks
know
about
a
property
and
kind
of
get
in
the
queue
early.
U
U
Well
and
if
I
could
just
say,
we
would
not
bring
something
forward
to
you
that
we
knew
would
violate,
so
the
data
would
be
there
to
show
that
we
did
not
detect
any
disparate
impact
in
our
analysis
of
this
program
on
Fair
Housing
opportunities,
and
so
that
finding
is
what
this
Council
would
have
to
review
and
our
lawyer
wouldn't
let
it
get
to
you
without
it
being
to
his
satisfaction.
And
then
that's
what
you
could
rely
on
in
passing
the
program
and
that's
the
same
thing
that
property
owners
would
rely
on
in
saying.
B
B
A
E
E
Was
this
stock
violent
to
do
this
both
to
my
mother
and
myself?
Am
I
not
confronted
daily
with
the
reality
that
the
United
States
government,
County
of
Santa,
Clara
and
city
of
San
Jose,
deprived
me
of
something
private
that
I
had
a
constitutionally
protected
right
to
possess
property?
Is
this
not
violence
towards
the
tens
of
thousands
of
Chicanos
who
grew
up,
not
speaking
Spanish
because
of
the
racially
segregated
neighborhoods
and
the
treatment
of
my
parents
in
the
schools?
E
Where
is
my
just
compensation
for
taking
something
as
fundamental
as
language
from
the
chicanery
San
Jose
redlined,
the
Mexicans
stripping
him
of
ancestral
wealth?
Chicanos
of
my
generation
will
burglarize,
while
using
force
of
Law
and
fear
of
the
policeman's
Club
from
wealth
we
normally
wouldn't
inherit.
Had
we
had
our
constitutional
right
protected
of
private
property?
E
My
Generation
deserves
equal
protection
under
the
law
due
process
as
we
redress
the
historical
injustices,
San
Jose
stole
from
the
Chicanos,
the
security
of
stability
in
these
uncertain
times
of
gentrification
and
cultural
Paradigm
shifts
that
is
heavily
promoted
by
the
city
and
developers
and
the
business
districts.
In
conclusion,
it
is
my
contention
that
the
greatest
acts
of
violence-
San
Jose
Santa
Clara
County-
has
done.
E
Is
to
deny
us
our
humanity,
and
you
deny
my
Humanity
If.
You
deny
me
my
history.
This
is
my
history,
the
history
of
redlining,
the
history
of
ensuring
that
I
at
this
time.
Back
then,
this
was
planned
already.
What
we're
looking
at
when
we're
looking
at
these
housing
deficits
is
a
racially
segregated
plan
to
ensure
that
Chicano
has
no
power
in
this
city.
I
suggested
Blair.
D
All
right,
well,
Beekman,
thanks
for
the
meeting
I
hope
I
can
remind
you
what
I've
been
writing
about
since
the
beginning
of
the
recent
sjpoa
drama.
It
simply
can
be.
The
easiest
for
everyone
involved,
make
the
most
sense
to
begin
learning,
how
to
more,
openly
review
and
talk
about
the
ways
to
address
and
end
fentanyl
distribution
coming
from
within
our
local
community
institutions,
like
police
departments
and.
D
And
boy
my
police
departments
and
my
my
email
is
screwed
up.
My
email
is
not
working
from
police
departments
and
Medical
Health
Industries.
It
can
be
painful
and
difficult,
but
as
our
local
police
departments
and
City
and
County
Medical
departments
are
respected
and
familiar
to
most
of
us,
they
should
be
able
to
stand
up
well
within
our
well-established
government,
good
procedures
of
checks
and
balances,
accountability
and
transparency
policies
and
open
public
review
policies.
D
At
this
time
and
from
these
good
efforts,
I
think
it
could
possibly
help
limit
a
substantial
amount
of
current
fentanyl
distribution
in
the
future
of
local
communities
across
the
state
and
Country,
as
current
Outlaws
simply
May
sometimes
be
taking
orders
from
local
institutional
agencies
and
facilitating
fentanyl
distribution,
Cycles
rhythms
and
patterns.
More
often
than
is
currently
understood,
I
am
worried.
State
and
federal
agencies
may
be
coming
down
on
Outlaw
fentanyl
distributions
a
little
overly
strong
at
this
time,
and
perhaps
an
important
reason
why
we.
